Dr Sultan Qasim

He was very easy to talk to and his manner makes one feel at ease immediately. He explains everything very succinctly and it was a pleasure to meet him again.

I cannot fault the professionalism and positive outcome.

Useful summary of issue, causes and solutions to try

The doctors consultation was very good . Lack of parking however caused so problems as my walking is poor . The advice when phoning that there is street parking nearby does not really help as n-one could guarantee that especially if you are not familiar with the area . Better signing / directions within the building a minor issue if you haven’t been before .

Dr Quasim was professional, kind and attentive, he provided all the information I needed relating to my pending surgery in a language I was able to understand. He reassured me with regards to pain relief post operatively. My initial anxieties regarding my operation have been alleviated following the consultation. Thank you Dr Quasim.

I saw Mr Quasim for a second opinion. He was lovely with me, listened to my concerns, examined my foot and gave me his considered opinion. I was very reassured by his explanation and advice and would thoroughly recommend him. A rare thing to find a doctor who listens to you and talks to you, rather than at you.

My foot pain started in early May and I saw a Tyneside Integrated Musculoskeletal Service physiotherapist who recommended I buy a metatarsal pad which I found reduced the pain. However, Mr Qasim, in late August, ridiculed the pad and said he would send me to a Musculoskeletal Dept at Freeman where they (a technician and a health care professional, HCP) would, he gave me to understand, provide a custom orthotic. They gave me a standard reinforced insole that increased the pain during the breaking in period. By the time I saw them in mid-November, my straight second toe had become bent and resulted in a different difficulty in walking, and (likely as a result of this bend in the first toe joint, according to the HCP, a podiatrist) the metatarsal pain had largely subsided but I was left with an altered gait.
